HUNTER, R., Hesiodic Voices. Studies in the Ancient Reception of Hesiod's 'Works and Days'. Cambridge University Press, 2017. VIII,338p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Classical Studies. This book selects central texts illustrating the literary reception of Hesiod's Works and Days in antiquity and considers how these moments were crucial in fashioning the idea of 'didactic literature'. A central chapter considers the development of ancient ideas about didactic poetry, relying not so much on explicit critical theory as on how Hesiod was read and used from the earliest period of reception onwards. Other chapters consider Hesiodic reception in the archaic poetry of Alcaeus and Simonides, in the classical prose of Plato, Xenophon and Isocrates, in the Aesopic tradition, and in the imperial prose of Dio Chrysostom and Lucian; there is also a groundbreaking study of Plutarch's extensive commentary on the Works and Days and an account of ancient ideas of Hesiod's linguistic style. This is a major and innovative contribution to the study of Hesiod's remarkable poem and to the Greek literary engagement with the past. (Publisher's information). € 34.00 (New)

FINGLASS, P.J., C. COLLARD, and N.J. RICHARDSON, (eds.), Hesperos. Studies in Ancient Greek Poetry Presented to M.L. West on his Seventieth Birthday. Oxford University Press, Oxford (...), 2007. 406p. Cloth. Wrps gone. Cover a little bit stained.'Readers of BMCR will need no introduction to M. L. West, whose publications (so says the jacket of the book under review) 'over nearly half a century ... have transformed our understanding of Greek poetry.' Here are 24 essays, mostly on Greek poetry, written to celebrate his 70th birthday. The book also reprints 'Forward into the Past', West's Balzan Prize acceptance speech (2000), and includes a complete bibliography of his academic publications - a staggering 497 items so far. Ranging across several of the fields in which West has exercised his enormous influence, the volume makes no attempt at unity of theme or purpose. Its value lies in the high quality of most of the individual contributions.' (JOHN GIBERT in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.06.23).

HOOFF, A. van, Het 'Plakkaat van Verlatinge'. De eerste onafhankelijkheidsverklaring. Omniboek, Utrecht, 2018. 192p. Paperback. In ‘Het Plakkaat van Verlatinge’ betoogt Anton van Hooff waarom de Acte van Verlatinge gezien kan worden als de geboorteakte van Nederland. In 2018 werd het plakkaat verkozen tot Het Pronkstuk van Nederland. Het document dat op 26 juli 1581 in Den Haag ondertekend werd, geldt als de onafhankelijkheidsverklaring van een aantal Nederlandse provinciën die de Spaanse Filips II afzworen (sic!) als hun heerser. Classicus Anton van Hooff schrijft over de geschiedenis en de wording van dit belangrijke document en laat in dit boek zien hoe het een bindend symbool is geworden van de waardengemeenschap van de onafhankelijke natie Nederland.
